Happy Thursday, I wish everyone a happy day!
I am sharing some photos from our visit to the Blackwater National Refuge in Cambridge Maryland. We stopped at the refuge on the way home from our visit to the beaches.
The Snow Geese were seen in a field just outside the wildlife refuge.

This shot is not clear but I like seeing the wings of the Mallards and on the far right is a Northern Pintail.
Just a pretty view of the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge

The Bald Eagles are plentiful at the wildlife refuge.
Some ducks and Tundra Swans.

Hello, Hope you are doing well.
Nice post. Beautiful photography.
Keep sharing.
The Refuge is such a beautiful and peaceful place. You got some wonderful photos. Have a blessed Easter weekend.
Hello Eileen,
Nice to see your photos...I agree with Munch.
Happy Passover to you too.
"Protect wildlife, one can measure the greatness and moral progress of a nation by looking at how it treats it's animals."
So true, Eileen.
There's a Star Trek episode :) where we learn that a power species sent 100 of their youngest and most defenseless out into space because you can tell so much about others by how they treat the most vunerable.
I love the wings blurred with movement, and the eagle is so Majestic..
Wow, what a lot of Snow Geese. Love the swans and eagle, too.
Have a lovely weekend!
Hello Eileen!
What a beautiful and peaceful place to visit!
The views are amazing!
Wonderful pictures of the Bald Eagle,the Snow Geese,the flying Mallards and the Great Blue Heron!
Great captures!Thank you for sharing this beauty!
Have a lovely day and a happy weekend!
Dimi...
Bless you my dear!
I would love to see snow geese like that. What a great place with so much to see.

I love the Mahatma Gandhi quote - sadly just about every nation fails its animals at some point... I love that heron shot! YAM xx
I always enjoy seeing your bird photos, and the scenic photos are beautiful!
Have a wonderful day!
Another wonderful series of nature photos, Eileen!
The great Blue Heron is such a stately, poised bird!
Your last shot is so calming and serene - just beautiful!
Happy Thursday!
I haven't seen that kind of concentration of Snow Geese in quite a while. Always a great spectacle. And a little careful searching often turns up a few Ross's Geese in with them.
I think I spotted a blue heron back. But I'm not sure. It's a bit early for us.
Your birds are wonderful!
Wonderful birds!
Happy Easter to you.
Wow Eileen. So many Snow Geese. Did you count them accurately? LOL.
Lovely quotes and it is wonderful to see your Bald Eagles and to know how well they are doing.
Beautiful snow geese! Lovely photos! We all have so much to be thankful for!
Beautiful Eileen. Love the Snow Geese

Hello Eileen!:) Beautiful views of the wildlife refuge, and all the birds. It must have been a wonderful experience to see so many Snow Geese. Your eagle captures are wonderful, especially number six. How regal he looks! Love all the quotes too!
I hope you have a very Happy Easter Eileen.:)
Lovely Bald Eagle. that is a great setting. There is a saying down here that if a person is cruel to an animal, they will/can also do the same to a human. Your quote says this and more.Happy Easter to you and yours up North.
I love it all and especially the Bald Eagles. I have not been able to see mine all week, due to caring for my neighbors needs. I absolutely love the image that you shared as saying... "Just a pretty view of the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge" It has the mood, so lovely, so peaceful.
I hope that you are doing well. Have a very Happy Easter celebration~
Herons always seem to pose so nicely! Great pics, Eileen!
Beautiful water birds Eileen, the Bald Eagle is great.
Great captures. Like the eagle.
It's always a good day when Bald Eagles are involved.
At first I thought that was bald eagles in the first photo. Glad you said they were snow geese.
I have recently heard of a refuge not far from my home and I am planning to take a trip there with my camera once the paths are passable and hopefully before the mosquitos invade.
Great photos Eileen,
Andrea
Your eagle pictures are spectacular and the snow geese remind me of the time we saw them in New Mexico (in the Fall) ... that was the only time I ever saw so many at once (of them or almost any bird at all).
Beautiful bird photos, Eileen. The eagles are so nice to see.
Happy Easter to you.
Today I went morning walking and had seen a Heron.. :)
Gorgeous shots and the Eagle is my favorite. Such a majestic bird. Thank you for linking up today and have a great weekend!!
Love the quotes and the photos of course.It looks a super area for watching nature. So many geese.
Again - fabulous photos and I love the quotes.

Worth a Thousand Words
I have never been lucky enough to see or photograph bald eagles in this way. It is always a treat for me to see them here!! What a wonderful encounter with nature!!
wonderful! Happy Easter!
Lovely shots Eileen! I love seeing the swans and the snow geese.
"...measure the greatness and moral progress of a nation by looking at how it treats its animals" indeed, Eileen!
I think of the bald eagles in particular because they have been successfully rescued from the brink of extinction. Their resurgence is one of North America's great successes.
Thanks for the photos!

Beautiful captures as always!
Eileen, I'm rather partial to Great Blue Herons, but they're all magnificent creatures, aren't they?
Of course, I love the eagle photos, but the last one is my favorite. Happy Easter to you!
Beautiful creatures that you captured with your camera, Eileen. Happy Easter weekend to you!
Great photos Eileen. There are a ton of geese in that first photo.
so many snowgeese in the field. A bird I did not see on my trip. To bad :(
Love the images. Hope your Easter has been great so far. :)
Yes all those mallards are in a bit of a flap! Happy Easter Eileen. Wren x
